Tripotassium citrate’s health benefits comprise heart health as well as bone health, which is due to its positive effect on the acid-base balance.
Calcium Lactate Gluconate
Calcium lactate gluconate is a highly absorbable calcium salt fighting calcium deficiency and osteoporosis. In pharmaceuticals it is used in effervescent tablets and instant preparations displaying excellent calcium bioavailability. In food and beverages the outstanding characteristics of calcium lactate gluconate combining high solubility (400g/L) and neutral taste lead to new applications in a wide range of products, such as in clear, carbonated or concentrated beverages as well as in dairy drinks and confectionary.
